One cannot hold a company directly liable for any criminal act until one identifies the very ego and center of the personality of the company. This paper is, therefore, concerned with the examination of the provisions made under our laws and the laws of other jurisdictions together with case laws for easy identification of those organs of the company which control the affairs of the company. The author adopted historical, expository, analytical and comparative methods in conducting this research. Part of the findings of this paper is that the de facto control of the management of the affairs of a company resides with the board of directors while de jure control is with the general meeting. The paper, recommends that Sections 246 and 255 of CAMA be amended to accommodate the right caliber of men on the board.

Background and Objectives: MTA is the material of choice for Pulp capping, Apexogenesis, Apexification, Perforation
repair and as well as for Root end filling. In this in vitro study, different mixing reagents were tested and their effect on
the compressive strength, at different pH, was evaluated when MTA was mixed, individually with each of them.
Materials and Method: A total 40 samples were prepared, 10 samples each for four mixing reagents. MTA (white) was
mixed with four mixing reagents and condensed into split thickness molds after which it was allowed to set for 72 hours.
After removing the samples from mold, samples were kept in freshly prepared Phosphate buffer saline solution at
different pH (5.0 and 7.0) for 7 days after which they were removed from PBS and dried overnight before testing with
Universal Testing Machine for compressive strength. Results were statistically analysed. Results: There was no
significant difference found in compressive strength when comparison was done between sterile water and 1% Sodium
hypochlorite at pH 7.0 and at pH 5.0. Within group comparison revealed, minimum changes in compressive strength with
change in pH from 5 to 7 in Group I (MTA + Sterile water) while maximum was obtained in Group II (MTA +
Metrogyl). In Group III (MTA + Sodium hypochlorite), a decrease in compressive strength was seen as pH decreased;
however, the difference between pH 5 and 7 was not statistically different. Conclusion: All the groups tested showed a
good compressive strength except MTA + Chlorhexidine group which did not set even after 7 days and amongst the
group, MTA + Metrogyl exhibited better compressive strength. No significant difference was found at pH 5.0 and 7.0
among the group.

This study examines the instrumentality of English in writing good research papers. Writing is an interesting intellectual
process. Research papers cover a wide range of topics. Poor mastery of English in English-speaking non-native regions is
evident in research papers, and this is unacceptable. The study hinges on an integrative theoretical underpinning which
explores insights from contemporary English grammar and principles of writing. Data are generated from research papers
across academic disciplines. They are analyzed in terms of the conventions of English (grammar and vocabulary) and
principles of writing that the writers have either articulated or violated. This study concludes that effective use of English
in research papers presupposes use of correct spellings, appropriate vocabulary, grammatical constructions, progressive
paragraphs, accurate transitional expressions, creative description of phenomena and proposition-reporting verbs.

Child abuse and neglect is defined as attitudes and behaviours performed by caregivers or other adults that cause physical
or psychological harm; emotional, sexual or mental developmental delay to the child. Child abuse is an important social
issue whose significance is increasing day by day from both medical and social aspects. In addition, protective and
preventive attempts should be individually, socially and universally be planned, organized and urgently applied. Doctors
and dentists should especially be educated in order to diagnose this devastating problem and all health professionals, and
parents should be informed about this medicolegal issue. The awareness, experience, and motivation of the physician are
extremely significant for diagnosis. Medicine, law and like social workers must work cooperatively for the evaluation of
child abuse.

Jatropha oil is considered one of the most important vegetable oil can use as biodiesel. This study was studied the genetic
variations of Egyptian Jatropha curcas. Analysis of the five SSR loci with the ten of genotypes detected a total of 10
bands or alleles with 60 % polymorphism. The results showed that genotypes having the allele with the JCDS10 SSR
locus (116bp) were 42 times more likely to have a high (above 10%) oleic acid content compared with these without this
allele. The same results were obtained with the SSR loci JMDB57 and JCPS20 (alleles 82bp and 108bp) and increased
odds to 3.8 and 3.6, respectively). While, allele at the JEM100 (140bp) SSR locus was showed negatively correlated with
oleic acid content and exhibits a decreased odds (0.035) of having high (above 10%) oleic acid content. On other hand,
Oleic acid content might be independent from the alleles at JCKASII SSR locus (OR=1.0). Moreover, the G9 oil
specification was matched with European’s standard. The Values of Oil density, Viscosity and Iodine Value were 0.85
gm/cc, 34 cp and 96.5 mg. I2. g-1, respectively. Altogether, we can conculcated that the 5 SSR loci can use for study the
genetic variations of Egyptian Jatropha curcas on a molecular basis. In addition, genotype 9 could be useful parental line
for developing mapping population to map EST-SSRs (transcribed regions).

This paper is premised on the findings of a study that sought to find out the challenges faced by Kenyan Interior Designers in relation to their Interior Design Diploma Programmes’ training. The thesis for this paper is that challenges are a reflection of relevant knowledge and skills resulting from having the relevant curriculum and training facilities. As such, acquisition of relevant knowledge and skills by the Kenyan Interior Designers, coupled with the right training facilities and curriculum, leads to minimized challenges thus competences of IDDGs. Consequently, the relevance of the Kenya Interior Design Diploma Programmes to the manpower needs of the industry is therefore enhanced. The study employed a descriptive survey research design and was conducted in Nairobi County, Kenya. 120 Kenyan Interior Design Diploma Graduates formed the study sample. Data was collected using questionnaires, interviews, and observation; analyzed using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS version 25) and presented using frequencies. From the study, it was established that KIDDGs face challenges creating detailed drawings from the initial sketches, using CAD, using computer Software applications for 2D & 3D, less team work in construction projects in Kenya between architect and interior designers. Due to inadequate training, majority of KIDDGs cannot deliver given tasks effectively until after retraining. It was also noted that the KIDDGs were looked down upon by architects and other design practitioners during practice making it a challenge to negotiate their salaries. This paper thus calls on the government and the public technical institutions to work towards expanding their contribution of interior design to society through the exchange and development of knowledge and experience in education and practice.

Bornoan Civilization before the Sayfawa
Garba Ibrahim, Abdullahi Garba
Page no 482-486 |
10.21276/sjhss.2019.4.7.7
This paper examines pre-Kanuri Borno societies focusing more on the „So‟ that were not given much relevance
historically. It is in this view that the paper attempts to examine the place of the pre-Kanuri inhabitants of Borno in the
history of the area and bring to the fore their contributions to human civilization, particularly in the Chad Basin Area
before the arrival of the Sayfawa into Borno. It appears like the history of Borno started only with the coming of the
Sayfawa into the area as documented in most reference materials. The „So‟ were the most notable pre-Kanuri inhabitants
of Borno. Perhaps there were many ethnic groups who probably dispersed to other locations in the Benue Valley, Bauchi
Plateau and some parts of Hausa land. These groups of people left some imprints in terms of civilization that we are able
to understand through archaeological and ethnographical researches. The Method that was adopted in writing this paper
is documentary analysis, using a multidisciplinary approach that cut across history, ethnography, archaeology and oral
tradition. Data collected were critically analysed and interpreted. Findings revealed that the area was well inhabited long
before the arrival of the Sayfawa, although, little was known about the pre-Kanuri inhabitants due to lack of enough
sources to contend with. In conclusion, the area is noted for a civilization that flourished for thousands of years. As such,
there is the need for more research on the area to reveal more on the pre-Kanuri Sayfawa people.

The existence of the media and ideology is akin to two sides of a coin. This existence is characterized by interrelatedness and mutual influence. During the Presidential Election of 2019, partisanship became a prominent issue. The media was regarded as being partisan and supportive of the incumbent. Similar case was observed during the Presidential Election of 2014 where the author identified the partisanship of the daily the Jakarta Post toward one of the presidential candidates. This stance is reflected on the editorial of the Jakarta Post entitled Endorsing Jokowi. Through this editorial, the Jakarta Post established itself as the only daily that openly threw its support for one particular presidential candidate. The analysis of this research is based on the Critical Discourse Analysis developed primarily by Teun Van Dijk in order to identify the reasons and means employed by the Jakarta Post to demonstrate its partisanship. The choice of theme, outline, diction, vocabulary and sentences used in this editorial reflects the attempt to marginalize, trivialize and accost the other candidate. In addition, the editorial contributed in providing insight on the candidate and the unfolding event. The research also identified the ideology espoused by the Jakarta Post which included pluralism, human rights, civil society and Reformasi which influenced their stance toward partisanship in this daily. Two events that took place during the campaign, which include the bestowal of the title Islamic Commander in Chief and the proliferation of the use of memes as the form of people’s political expression are observed as the social context that spurred the publication of such editorial.

Etoposide (ETZ) is a standard drug used in treatment of several malignancies. However, it is associated with increased risk of spleen damage and secondary acute myeloid leukaemia. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is an ancient safe remedy used in management of minor health issues due to being rich in active constituents. Therefore, we hypothesize that ginger oil can ameliorate ETZ-induced oxidative stress and DNA damage in spleen tissues and leukocytes. To achieve our aim, ginger oil (75&150 mg/kg b.w.) was administered three times to male albino rats an hour prior to ETZ oral administration (1mg/kg b.w.) for 3 weeks. Results showed that ETZ induced marked biochemical alterations in the oxidative status of spleen tissues. The elevated lipid peroxidation and nitric oxide levels were statistically countered. However, the glutathione, superoxide dismutase and catalase enzymes were reduced. Moreover, the DNA single strand breaks as evaluated by comet assay in blood leucocytes also showed significant changes. The administration of ginger oil caused significant improvement of oxidative stress status and DNA damage. In conclusion, our results suggest that ginger oil could be used as a herbal remedy for reducing ETZ-induced adverse effects in male albino rats.
